1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,760 All right, welcome to Scrapyard Wars, 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,080 where Luke and I try to build the best computers we can 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,140 with a set of guidelines and a fixed budget. 4 00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:10,360 So this is our first episode. 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,320 We're looking for a lot of feedback from you guys 6 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,740 about what we can do to make these fun 7 00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:15,180 and interesting in the future. 8 00:00:15,180 --> 00:00:18,280 But for today's challenge, we are keeping it very simple. 9 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,760 $300 cash, the very best gaming rig 10 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,400 that we can build with a few rules. 11 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,840 So number one is no monitor or other peripherals required. 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,100 We only have to build the tower. 13 00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:32,960 No worker research can be pre-done, 14 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,280 so you can't go on websites or Craigslist 15 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,820 and try to find things before or in between. 16 00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:40,160 Each participant gets a total of eight hours 17 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,980 to actually find everything, 18 00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:46,240 and then four hours to build it, tune it, and benchmark it. 19 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,060 I'm not paying any overtime on this, 20 00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:51,300 so we are staying inside those guidelines. 21 00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:54,240 No leveraging friends, social media contacts, 22 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,280 coworkers, or anything of that sort. 23 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,940 Overclocking is allowed. 24 00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:58,840 We'll be measuring performance 25 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,220 of the machines using 3DMark Firestrike, 26 00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:04,340 Tomb Raider 2013, and Dirt 3. 27 00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,340 And along with the no peripherals thing, 28 00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:07,640 it's just a tower that you need, 29 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,950 no operating system or anything like that. 30 00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:12,660 So let's get to it, shall we? 31 00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:19,170 Scratch Wars. 32 00:01:19,170 --> 00:01:23,330 Here we go. 33 00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,500 You have exceeded your daily transaction limit. 34 00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:28,660 Please take your receipt. 35 00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:29,780 I see. 36 00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:30,620 Declined. 37 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:34,230 Okay, then. 38 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:35,710 I'ma go inside. 39 00:01:35,710 --> 00:01:43,040 I have the cashola. 40 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,880 There you are. 41 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Thank you. 42 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,090 All right. 43 00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:50,560 Let's go, shall we? 44 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,380 Good luck. 45 00:01:56,380 --> 00:01:58,920 I should have known he'd never fall for that. 46 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120 I'm fairly sure he's going to waste time 47 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,220 going back to the office. 48 00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:06,420 I brought a laptop with me, 49 00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,780 so I will begin immediately. 50 00:02:09,780 --> 00:02:11,840 I really hope it's charged. 51 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,200 There's a store somewhere in Vancouver. 52 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,600 I think it's called Reboot. 53 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,760 It's a non-for-profit little store thing 54 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,080 that kind of refurbishes computers 55 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320 and sells computers and does kind of cheap repairs 56 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,000 and stuff for people that need it. 57 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,800 And I think if I can participate in this contest 58 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,840 and support a company that tries to, 59 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,580 like they do really cheap computer repairs 60 00:02:33,580 --> 00:02:35,340 and I know they try to like, 61 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:36,860 I think they do some charity, 62 00:02:36,860 --> 00:02:39,000 giving computers to people and stuff. 63 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,160 If I can help them out, 64 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,620 get a cheap computer from them 65 00:02:41,620 --> 00:02:43,060 and participate in the contest, 66 00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:46,260 then that's doing many things well at once. 67 00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:49,600 So I'm going to try and see if I can do that. 68 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,540 I'm going to contact them, 69 00:02:50,540 --> 00:02:52,780 figure out what their hours are and go from there. 70 00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:54,460 Now we're rocking. 71 00:02:54,460 --> 00:02:57,580 Here. 72 00:02:57,580 --> 00:02:58,420 Jesus. 73 00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:03,910 All right, so should we start on, 74 00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:06,590 red flag deals used to be a haunt for me. 75 00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:08,410 I used to find a lot of good stuff there. 76 00:03:08,410 --> 00:03:10,690 The line is tech tips, buy, sell, trade. 77 00:03:10,690 --> 00:03:12,010 That Craig's list. 78 00:03:12,010 --> 00:03:13,990 Do you want me to call Anthony? 79 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:16,250 Ah, oh, that. 80 00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:18,390 No, we're not allowed to leverage friends. 81 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:19,750 And this is where the like, montage, 82 00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:21,570 montage music has to come in. 83 00:03:21,570 --> 00:03:35,600 Dun, dun, dun, dun. 84 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,910 That might be the best we can do. 85 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:43,920 And then this guy also had a hard drive for 20 bucks. 86 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,600 Oh, he looks detected. 87 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,110 Does he? 88 00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:48,410 Okay, good. 89 00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:49,250 Excellent. 90 00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,100 That means literally nothing. 91 00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:02,040 So an Intel Core 2 Duo with 80 Gigabyte hard drive. 92 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:02,880 Oh God. 93 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,420 And two gigabytes of RAM for 50 bucks though. 94 00:04:09,420 --> 00:04:12,000 So that leaves me $250 to get a graphics card. 95 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,260 Let me give them a call. 96 00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,480 This is why we don't make TV shows. 97 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,660 There seems to be a pretty significant drop in price 98 00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:28,240 once you get to Core 2 Duo range. 99 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,480 So I'm looking for that 100 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,820 because I think that'll be fine for most of the games. 101 00:04:31,820 --> 00:04:36,820 It'll fall behind a bit for sure on a Tomb Raider. 102 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,380 Are they gonna come to concede defeat? 103 00:04:39,380 --> 00:04:40,220 Where are they going? 104 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:41,780 They're not allowed to take out more money. 105 00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:43,840 Oh, they're trying to film things better 106 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,000 than just pointing the camera at me in the car. 107 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,840 How innovative. 108 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,200 That seems unnecessary. 109 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Whoa. 110 00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:53,760 This could be, oh, is this that same frigging guy? 111 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,600 Well, he has a case. 112 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,600 He has a CX 500 power supply too. 113 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,780 If I hear back from this guy, 114 00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:00,520 I don't think Lou's gonna think to check Kijiji. 115 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,360 Okay, 45. 116 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,600 And then this is a combo. 117 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,450 And then this is a combo. 118 00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:14,200 Ooh, computer cases with power supplies and other hardware. 119 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,620 Phone calls only, please. 120 00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,390 All right, here we go. 121 00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,230 Hi. 122 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:21,550 Hi, you have a Craigslist listing 123 00:05:21,550 --> 00:05:23,930 for computer cases with power supplies. 124 00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:26,270 $10 or something. 125 00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:28,330 So do you have anything reasonably new 126 00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:29,910 with a 24-pin power supply 127 00:05:29,910 --> 00:05:32,150 and compatibility for a micro ATX board, 128 00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:33,410 like some kind of standard board, 129 00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:36,650 or is it all gonna be non-standard like Dell HP stuff? 130 00:05:36,650 --> 00:05:37,850 That's an Athlon? 131 00:05:37,850 --> 00:05:38,710 Oh, okay. 132 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:40,820 That's a little older than I need. 133 00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:43,200 I'm looking for an entry-level gaming PC. 134 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,300 If you can just tell me what CPUs the systems that you have. 135 00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:49,920 I'm very familiar with the hardware. 136 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,920 I know what I'm looking for. 137 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,210 I just need to know what you have. 138 00:05:53,210 --> 00:05:54,730 If you're in contact with somebody 139 00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:57,240 who can help you with the parts you need. 140 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,240 Oh, okay. 141 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,320 That might actually be very helpful. 142 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,300 What's your name? 143 00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:04,000 My name's Linus. 144 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:23,220 If you wanna build a- 145 00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:25,280 What I'm trying to accomplish is today, 146 00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,840 I wanna find my platform. 147 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:28,380 So everything I'll need. 148 00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:29,720 And then tomorrow, essentially, 149 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,320 I wanna spend the entire time finding 150 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,540 the best possible price that I can on a GPU. 151 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:37,420 That's like my whole plan tomorrow. 152 00:06:37,420 --> 00:06:38,720 Pick up. 153 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,180 I just found another computer. 154 00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:42,980 Same price, but it's actually $5 cheaper. 155 00:06:42,980 --> 00:06:44,740 It has a 450-watt power supply. 156 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,380 That's probably fine. 157 00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:47,420 Four gigs of RAM. 158 00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:48,680 So that's a slight improvement there. 159 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,200 Four gigs of RAM, that's probably good enough. 160 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,050 And then an E8400 again. 161 00:06:53,050 --> 00:06:55,700 I'm kinda surprised he hasn't just tried to like 162 00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,940 leave and go into some little computer shop 163 00:06:57,940 --> 00:07:01,140 and get them to give him a deal because of who he is. 164 00:07:01,140 --> 00:07:02,840 That was my full expectation the whole time. 165 00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,080 And then he put up 166 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,580 the rule that we can't use our influence. 167 00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:10,480 I was like, wow. 168 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,980 Because that's exactly what I expected him to do. 169 00:07:13,980 --> 00:07:15,620 So now I'm not sure how he's gonna cheat. 170 00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:16,500 . 171 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:22,430 I don't even know that he's going to. 172 00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:24,210 Never cheat at all. 173 00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,170 You know what we should do? 174 00:07:25,170 --> 00:07:28,440 Is we should look really excited when we pull out 175 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,460 and we should look like we're heading somewhere, okay? 176 00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:35,820 We'll give them a little, a little farewell beep beep. 177 00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:41,690 You know? 178 00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:43,990 I don't even know how to use Craigslist. 179 00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:49,210 First stop is going to be the Salvation Army thrift store. 180 00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:55,100 This isn't a computer. 181 00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,080 That was bad. 182 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,280 That was really bad. 183 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,580 I hope Linus' time is not, not going well. 184 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,560 Continue on Langley Bypass 14. 185 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,580 If I just throw the car under a semi, we'll be okay. 186 00:08:03,580 --> 00:08:06,880 We can avoid, we can avoid judgment at the end of the, 187 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,960 at the end of the contest when we have no computer 188 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,020 because there's no computers at thrift shops 189 00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:14,180 and Linus magically found something on Craigslist. 190 00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:19,220 I'm hoping that they don't have like computer-savvy employees. 191 00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:22,420 So they might undervalue a certain tower 192 00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:23,320 compared to another one. 193 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Like they might price two of them at the same price. 194 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,580 And one of them is actually clearly better. 195 00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:35,950 Fingers crossed. 196 00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:36,950 Is this literally? 197 00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:41,840 Is this literally a clothing store now? 198 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,250 You're kicked out anyways. 199

parts. 203 00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:54,700 May I ask which one? 204 00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:55,880 Dilbert. 205 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,200 Ah, yeah, that's right. 206 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Hi. 207 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,620 I'm just generally looking for everything right now. 208 00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:02,160 I don't have any of the components locked in 209 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,100 and I need to get everything by about midday tomorrow 210 00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,340 as a birthday presents. 211 00:09:06,340 --> 00:09:08,580 What would we be looking at for something like a Q60, 212 00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:10,860 600 and a board? 213 00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:11,700 Oh, something like that. 214 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,050 It's like $80. 215 00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:15,390 Still

cheapo, stupid stuff? 219 00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:21,630 Yeah, a case and power supply. 220 00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:24,950 Okay, I'm not worried about the case looking great. 221 00:09:24,950 --> 00:09:29,050 He doesn't see real well. 222 00:09:29,050 --> 00:09:32,510 Well, I can throw the power supply and case into the 200. 223 00:09:32,510 --> 00:09:34,170 For the 200? 224 00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:35,190 You know what? 225 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:38,950 I will call you back before the end of your shop time today. 226 00:09:38,950 --> 00:09:40,970 So I'll call you back in the next hour or so. 227 00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:42,910 And I'll let you know if I'm gonna come by tomorrow morning 228 00:09:42,910 --> 00:09:43,750 and pick this stuff up. 229 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:47,130 Sounds like this might be the deal that helps me out here. 230 00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:48,730 All right, thank you very much. 231 00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:49,820 Take care. 232 00:09:49,820 --> 00:09:50,640 Take care. 233 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,480 Maybe it was worthwhile 234 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,580 to listen to that life story after all. 235 00:09:53,580 --> 00:09:55,840 We might've just gotten everything but a video card 236 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,840 with a hundred dollar budget for a graphics card leftover. 237 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,040 Okay, but that might be like plus tax 238 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,080 because this is- 239 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Oh no. 240 00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:06,290 Well, let's hope it's not. 241 00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:07,750 I got an email back from the guy 242 00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:09,590 that I actually wanted to respond the most. 243 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:11,030 This was the guy with the E8400 244 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:13,050 that had four gigabytes of DDR3 as well 245 00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:14,550 and the 500 Gigabyte hard drive. 246 00:10:14,550 --> 00:10:18,250 It's not the greatest price, but that's an option. 247 00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,090 He's available right now, 248 00:10:19,090 --> 00:10:19,930 which is good. 249 00:10:19,930 --> 00:10:22,900 So I need to figure out if I can get a, 250 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:25,780 what I can get for a graphics card for 220 bucks. 251 00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:28,620 If I can get something good enough, 252 00:10:28,620 --> 00:10:30,950 which I think I can, 253 00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:33,130 I think I'll go with it. 254 00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:37,610 Linus speaking. 255 00:10:37,610 --> 00:10:39,090 Yes, I did. 256 00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:46,630 Oh, hi, hi. 257 00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:50,110 I, okay, I gotta be upfront with you. 258 00:10:50,110 --> 00:10:54,250 I can't leverage being me as a negotiation strategy. 259 00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:58,700 So you have to pretend that I'm not who I am. 260 00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,280 So I don't need a water-cooled card. 261 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,340 I need an air-cooled card, 262 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:08,340 which means that since I don't have any budget left over 263 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,440 for the rest of the system, 264 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,620 I pretty much have to get an all-in-one liquid cooler 265 00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:19,880 for $100 minus whatever I pay for your card. 266 00:11:21,950 --> 00:11:24,900 So that's where I'm at. 267 00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:27,420 I have got no leads on an all-in-one liquid cooler 268 00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:37,320 and I have to have this done by the end of the day tomorrow. 269 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,100 Is there now? 270 00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:46,510 Is there? 271 00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:48,700 I see that. 272 00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:52,210 That would be just like an extra dollar, like 20, 20. 273 00:11:52,210 --> 00:11:53,710 Yeah, can you do 80? 274 00:11:56,130 --> 00:11:57,830 Yeah, I guess I could, yeah. 275 00:11:57,830 --> 00:12:03,760 Okay, can I pick it up today or tomorrow? 276 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,670 Can I come tomorrow morning? 277 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:13,060 You're in Richmond, correct? 278 00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:13,980 In Burnaby, actually. 279 00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:19,070 You're in Burnaby. 280 00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:21,490 I think I'm gonna be in Burnaby anyway. 281 00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:24,530 Like I'm doing a bit of computer hardware 282 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:25,750 pickup stuff tomorrow. 283 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:29,200 So I will be, I'll be around. 284 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,380 So tell you what, why don't you just pick somewhere, 285 00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:33,720 somewhere safe near wherever it is you live, 286 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,460 like a Starbucks or whatever. 287 00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:37,180 And then just let me know. 288 00:12:37,180 --> 00:12:38,020 You've got my number. 289 00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:39,280 So if you just text me the address 290 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,140 and what time works for you, 291 00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:45,150 I'll be there tomorrow morning. 292 00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:50,800 Okay, all right, thank you. 293 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,660 That would be no problem. 294 00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:58,250 All right, take care. 295 00:12:58,250 --> 00:13:03,250 Okay, we have secured a GTX 580 for $80. 296 00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:06,790 If they can get a slightly faster CPU 297 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:11,230 than us, like maybe an 1155 core i5 quad core, 298 00:13:11,230 --> 00:13:12,890 something along those lines, 299 00:13:12,890 --> 00:13:15,570 even if they have a slightly lesser video card, 300 00:13:15,570 --> 00:13:16,810 they might still come out ahead. 301 00:13:16,810 --> 00:13:19,610 If they get a similar video card, better CPU, 302 00:13:19,610 --> 00:13:21,730 then we're in real trouble. 303 00:13:21,730 --> 00:13:24,090 But basically this is gonna, 304 00:13:24,090 --> 00:13:27,390 I need to make sure our power supply has support 305 00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:29,750 for GTX 580. 306 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:33,160 That's a pretty power hungry card. 307 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,640 I wonder what they're up to. 308 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,600 Hopefully spinning their wheels, finding nothing. 309 00:13:39,510 --> 00:13:41,870 All right, so I got the computer. 310 00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:42,710 Everything works. 311 00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:43,990 He booted it up for me. 312 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:45,590 I got to inspect everything. 313 00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:46,590 It's fine. 314 00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:48,790 I didn't haggle them down anymore. 315 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:51,870 So I got it for 80 bucks, which I think is fine. 316 00:13:51,870 --> 00:13:53,070 We'll have to see what Linus got, 317 00:13:53,070 --> 00:13:54,630 but that seems like an okay deal 318 00:13:54,630 --> 00:13:56,710 for an 8400 computer to me. 319 00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,550 The inside is really nice and clean. 320 00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:59,590 So I was happy to see that. 321 00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:00,710 It looks like he took good care of it 322 00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:04,490 or at least took good care of it right before I got there. 323 00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:06,490 Not entirely sure which one, but anyways. 324 00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:09,290 Kind of baller RAM. 325 00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:10,690 I didn't expect this. 326 00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:11,970 Okay, maybe not actually baller, 327 00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:13,530 but it's gold plated. 328 00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:14,790 Well, not really gold plated, 329 00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:17,510 gold painted OCZ memory, 330 00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:19,410 which I thought was kind of funny. 331 00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:20,570 There's the E8400. 332 00:14:20,570 --> 00:14:22,350 The fan, CPU fan and everything 333 00:14:22,350 --> 00:14:25,190 is in immaculate condition, which is great. 334 00:14:25,190 --> 00:14:26,130 Let me get this back in here. 335 00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:27,310 One quick second. 336 00:14:27,310 --> 00:14:28,150 I thought it was kind of funny 337 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:29,810 the optical drive isn't even hooked up, 338 00:14:29,810 --> 00:14:31,790 but I wouldn't use it anyways. 339 00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:35,660 So the power supply though 340 00:14:35,660 --> 00:14:37,920 is kind of like the most sketchy balls thing ever. 341 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,400 It's a Powerlink 450 watt. 342 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,240 It's a Powerlink 450 watt. 343 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,800 But yeah, I don't know. 344 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,060 No PCIe power whatsoever. 345 00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:47,260 There's two molexes though, 346 00:14:47,260 --> 00:14:49,340 so I can adapt her off for that. 347 00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:50,620 So I don't know. 348 00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:51,820 We'll just kind of have to see. 349 00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:53,260 So this will be my base platform. 350 00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,360 I'll see if I need to get a new power supply 351 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,860 and then yeah, we'll go from there. 352 00:14:59,860 --> 00:15:00,820 This is really awkward 353 00:15:00,820 --> 00:15:03,260 because I've just made appointments 354 00:15:03,260 --> 00:15:06,720 with our GTX 580 water cooled card 355 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,860 and our cooler for it, 356 00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:09,420 which are totaling a hundred dollars. 357 00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:10,540 But someone just accepted it. 358 00:15:10,540 --> 00:15:14,020 Our offer for a hundred dollars on a 7950. 359 00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:15,960 So I'm going to do a little bit of research 360 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,900 into overclocking the 580 and overclocking the 7950, 361 00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:22,420 but I'm going to feel like a real bad dude, 362 00:15:22,420 --> 00:15:24,340 but I might have to bail on those guys 363 00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:25,440 and take the better offer. 364 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,040 The problem is that now I have to go get it tonight, 365 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,960 which means I might have to take like the kids with me. 366 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,980 So. 367 00:15:34,980 --> 00:15:37,400 Save on select Intel Core i7 processors 368 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,980 and 730 series SSDs with instant rebates 369 00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:42,300 during Valentine's week, February 14th to 24th. 370 00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:43,600 First,

00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,700 Well, that's very interesting then. 375 00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:55,540 I have a call to make. 376 00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:59,210 Also, you can't do any more Craigslisting
